Dear Parents,
This week in math we continued to order numbers to 1,200, but we were to look for a pattern and how much each number increased. Did they increase by + 10, + 20, +30, +100 or +200? This was a difficult skill, but they did great! We also had many 100 Day activities on Wednesday and took our assessment on Thursday and Friday.
In writing we have been continuing our Poetry unit as we read, write and visualize poems. They are having a wonderful time as they look for the elements of poetry in their writing! On the 100th day of school we wrote about what we think we will be like when we are 100 years old. We edited this writing and took it to final copy.
In reading/social studies we began looking at maps and globes. In future weeks we will be learning all about map skills and how to read a map. We also read some poetry and responded in writing how the poem made us feel. On the 100th day of school we listened to the story The 100th Day of School and made art using the number 100. We finished the week with a Scholastic News article called “ Count Us If You Can”. We took a comprehension check for a grade. In science we began our new unit on the Pattern of Objects in the Sky! We loved recreating the phases of the moon with a flashlight, a moon and a globe! We are tracking the phases of the moon on a moon calendar and learning the reason behind the different shapes of the moon we see in the night sky. We did an interactive moon Lesson as a class, and wrote in our science journals about what we learned. We watched a STEMscopes video and filled in information on a handout.
